Encrusting montipora, a hard skeleton coral that can grow very quickly. Not trying to be demeaning but in the future I’d recommend getting corals that you know what they are so you can determine whether your aquarium is suitable for a certain species.
Yes, fair. I lean on my LFS and just forgot the name.

It seems emerald crabs like it as a snack

Emerald crabs are a hit or miss. I had a an emerald for over a year that was a model citizen until randomly decided to go to town on my favorite acropora. Just be aware that it can happen, but once that montipora takes off you probably won’t even notice if the crab is even eating it, it grows so fast.
